Second Class-First Period

In my second class, I began with an warm up activity using sentences strips, I asked the student to stand up and make three groups, then I gave a bag to each group that contained 3 sentences in pieces of paper that they had to order in the correct way. In this activity, I noticed that they had fun meanwhile they were working and all students were participating too. 

Later, I used some charts with some examples of verbs in simple past tense in order to remind the students about the previous class. First, I used a chart with regular verbs, in this chart, I explained them the three different pronunciations with the termination in "ED" of the simple past, so  I focused in the pronunciation and then, I asked them to pronounce the verbs after me.  I used the second chart which contained irregular verbs, and then, in the last chart, I explained them many examples using simple past tense with regular and irregular verbs. In my opinion, when I explain grammar,  I prefer to use examples than structures because it´s easier to the students to understand and pay attention in how they can use the simple past tense.

To continue, the students worked  in a reading;  first, I asked them  to look for new vocabulary, then, I explained the meanings and other examples. Later on, I asked them to read it and finally answers the questions.

Unfortunately, I couldn't finish the class, because one of the coordinators of access English asked everyone to go out. Even though, the teacher told me that I could continue the next class.

This time, I felt that I improved in my teaching, in other words, I have noticed that now I have more ideas to develop my classes than before and thanks good, this class it was successful because students paid attention to the explanation and they liked to participate in all the activities and learn how to use the simple past using regular and irregular verbs and some adverbs of time. I realized that they are a great group.
